"He's just lying to you. If he hadn't made a big mistake, why would Second Brother not give him wine?"
Feeling that this wasn't strong enough, Li Xu continued, "Think about it, this morning our mother, eldest brother, and eldest sister-in-law were all standing by, but none of them pleaded for him. Why is that?"
Li Ju tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said angrily, "Dad is so mean, I won't trust him anymore."
Li Xu echoed, "That's right, you must not trust him. He knows that Second Brother loves you the most, so he lied to you and wanted you to come to me to beg for mercy."
"Second brother, please don't give dad alcohol anymore, okay?"
Hearing this, Li Xu was overjoyed. She quickly put Li Wenbai on the ground and kissed Li Ju's little face several times. "Big brother will definitely listen to what I say. I won't give him any alcohol in the future."
"Yeah." Li Ju clenched her fists and nodded heavily.
Li Wenbo was not happy about this. He pulled Li Xu's pants with his little hands and called out loudly, "Uncle, uncle, aunt."
Li Xu thought he might be unhappy because he was ignored, so he picked him up and put him on his lap again, making him face him. "Nephew, you must not be jealous of your aunt. You are the eldest son and grandson of our Li family now. You have the responsibility and obligation to treat her well in the future. Do you understand? Otherwise, no one in the family will forgive you."
Li Wenbai stared at him with round eyes, completely unaware of what he was talking about.
Li Ju quickly said, "My nephew will definitely treat me well in the future, right, nephew?"
"aunt."
Hearing Li Wenbai's cry, Li Ju was overjoyed. Her little face was filled with joy as she shouted, "Second brother, my nephew has admitted it."
Li Xu looked at her with amusement, "Just admit it. If he dares to say that he won't treat you well in the future, I'll spank him."
"No, my nephew is still so young, you can't hit him."
"Then wait until he grows up."
After the three of them played for a while, Hu Guilan brought in lunch.
After dinner, Li Xu moved the two lounge chairs he bought last year to the yard.
Wipe off the dust with a rag, and then lie down on it beautifully.
When he was about to fall asleep, Li Ju pulled his clothes and whispered, "Second brother, you said you would play with me this afternoon."
Li Xu pointed to the rocking bed beside him and whispered, "Second brother wants to play with you, but your eldest nephew is sleeping and I'm afraid of waking him up. How about I wait until he wakes up and then play with you?"
Li Ju looked at the rocking bed, then looked at him, and finally agreed, "Okay then."
"Do you want me to get you a mattress so you can sleep on the recliner next to you for a while?"
"I'm not sleepy at all, second brother, you go to sleep. I'll call you when Wenbo wakes up." Li Ju shook her head and said.
"Second brother loves you for a long time, then I will sleep for a while."
After saying that, Li Xu closed his eyes.
After a while, I fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xu heard someone calling him.
He opened his eyes with great effort and reached out to touch Li Ju's face, "Is Wenbo awake?"
Li Ju pulled his hand, trying to pull him up from the recliner, and said anxiously, "Wake up, second brother, get up quickly and change your nephew's diaper."
Upon hearing this, Li Xu suddenly sat up from the recliner.
I got up and walked to the cradle, and saw Li Wenbai calling "Auntie, Auntie".
After a closer look, I found that his diaper was indeed wet.
Fortunately, it was just pee this time.
Li Xu quickly changed a clean diaper for him, and Li Wenbai stopped crying.
Wash the changed diapers and hang them on the pole to dry.
After washing his face to regain some energy, Li Xu came to Li Ju and asked, "Little sister, why is your nephew different now?"
"What's the difference?"
Li Xu scratched his head. "Before, when he peed or pooped, he would cry out, why is he calling me auntie now?"
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because we have a good relationship." Li Ju replied with a smile.
This reason left Li Xu unable to refute.
Then I took them both to play.
Du Sen didn't come over in the afternoon, probably because he went to his future daughter-in-law's house.
It was past four o'clock, and the aroma coming from the kitchen became stronger and stronger. Li Xu and Li Ju lost interest in playing.
So he carried Li Wenbai to the kitchen door and looked inside eagerly.
He kept swallowing his saliva.
Seeing this, Hu Guilan was overjoyed. "The duck is almost cooked. Shall I serve you some to try later?"
Li Xu is already such an adult, how could he not resist this temptation?
Naturally, he refused, "Sister-in-law, I don't need it. Just give me some."
Li Ju shook her head repeatedly, "I don't need it either. I'll drink it tonight."
Hu Guilan continued, "I've made a lot of soup this time, and I don't plan on letting you drink much. I'll only give you two half a bowl each to taste."
After a fierce struggle in his heart, Li Xu agreed, "Okay, sister-in-law, you and Wen Bo can also have some to try later."
He felt it was his responsibility to taste the saltiness of the food for his family.
But he was afraid that his taste would be wrong, so he invited Hu Guilan to taste it together.
This reason is perfect.
Unexpectedly, Hu Guilan rejected the proposal, saying she would not taste it.
Li Xu suddenly became anxious.
How is this possible?
How can I drink if you don’t drink?
If I don’t drink, how can my little sister drink?
So he pulled Li Ju out of the kitchen and whispered a few words to her.
Then Li Ju ran to Hu Guilan and kept persuading her.
Only then did Hu Guilan agree to taste it together.
Li Xu was very satisfied with this.
The duck was cooked soon. Hu Guilan took out three bowls, filled each bowl with half a bowl of soup, and put a few pieces of duck meat on each bowl.
This made Li Xu a little confused, "Sister-in-law, why did you only serve three bowls?"
"Wenbo and I only need half a bowl."
Hearing this, Li Xu stepped forward and filled one of the bowls with a large iron spoon, then pointed at the bowl of soup and said, "Then you two drink this bowl."
Hu Guilan was a little amused and helpless.
But since she had already said it, she didn't say anything else.
He picked up his bowl of soup and walked out carefully, not letting a drop spill.
Li Xu picked up the remaining two bowls and walked out.
He came to the yard, put one of the bowls on the stool, and said to Li Ju, "Little sister, be careful when you drink. Don't get burned."
"I know." Li Ju nodded excitedly, then handed a pair of chopsticks to Li Xu, "Second brother, here."
Taking the chopsticks, Li Xu kept stirring the soup, trying to lower its temperature faster.
Hu Guilan and Li Ju also made the same gesture.
After stirring for a while, Li Xu felt that it was almost done, so he took a sip of the duck soup and tasted it carefully.
After swallowing it, he praised, "This soup is really sweet."
